Thinking of pulling the Trigger on an 01 S with 115K

[Tcar]

So it's a $12,500 car, figure.

That's a single row, small bearing (probably) so you should get it done asap.

Bought an 02 S (114k mi) for the same price exactly, did the bearing, etc. within a week.
The bearing was still ok but the seal had failed so it was just a matter of time.
